With everybody feeling 'a little bit over it all” these events are just the ticket to cheer you up. Combine food, fashion and singing at one of these lovely events.

The respected and prolific New Zealand chef, author, entertainer and broadcaster will be centre stage at ‘Wear Your Best Frock' Happy Hour on Friday March 25, then at the ‘Fashionista Luncheon' on Saturday March 26.

March 25 will be an entertaining celebration of sustainable fashion, buying well and finding your style in the 21st Century. Drinks and nibbles will be provided at the beautiful venue of

The Tauranga Club. Tickets for this event are $85 per person. There's a surprise prize draw too.

On March 26 attendees will enjoy a delicious light lunch, dessert and bubbles at CBK craft bar and kitchen as Peta gives an exciting commentary of some of the fabulous fashions from the book, modelled by two gorgeous models. And don't forget the singing too.

There will also be a chance to win your personally autographed copy of ‘Shed couture: A passion for fashion' written by Peta. Tickets for this event are $165 per person.

Food ambassador Kathrin Chappel says this will be her first Lavish Foods event staged in Tauranga.
